First thing’s first! Every party makeup look starts with skincare, darlings. I never apply a stitch of makeup without moisturising with my legendary, miracle moisturiser, Charlotte’s Magic Cream! And darlings, my Immediate Eye Revival Patches always make me feel ready for the makeup chair – under eyes look fresher in just 10 minutes!

Discover my guide on how to prep your skin with skincare for flawless party makeup!

My Pretty, Glowing Beauty look transforms you into a red-carpet English rose! The shades in my limited-edition Hollywood Instant Look In A Palette are blushing cool tones with romantic pink shimmer – they’re perfect for creating wistful, effortless beauty looks that softly define the look of your eyes and cheekbones. Use the twinkling trio of pink eyeshadows to give your eyes a dreamy haze of mauve pink, then add a slick of Exagger-Eyes Volume Mascara to make them pop. For your complexion, veil your cheeks with rosy blush and bronzer, then finish with pink setting powder to unlock a pink, beauty-blur filter effect. Darlings, this is the look for anyone that loves delicate, blushed beauty with understated shimmer.
Tilbury Tip: Pretty, Glowing Beauty is a full Hollywood makeup look in a palette! All you need is my Mini Makeup Brush Kit for the easiest party makeup application ever!

Everyone feels better with a tan, darlings, and my Dreamy, Bronzed Beauty look is perfect for giving your complexion that winter warmer, bronzed bombshell glow all year round! This palette features 3 bronze eyeshadow shades with plenty of depth – sweep them onto your lids to add effortless definition and warmth to your eyes! It also includes 2 terracotta-red blush shades that create a dreamy, sun-kissed blush look that looks super-flattering alongside bronze eye makeup and glossy lips. Darlings, if you want to look red-carpet bronzed in the most Hollywood sense of the word, this is the palette you need this party season!
Tilbury Tip: Pair my Dreamy, Bronzed Beauty Palette with Strawberry Chocolate Big Lip Plumpgasm to finish your look with pink diamond sparkle.

If you’re anything like me, darling, you don’t need an excuse to wear a sultry, smokey eye! To dial up your party eye makeup and give your eyes that smouldering, smoked-out effect, reach for my Exagger Eyes Party Eye Kit. My Exagger-Eyes look is so easy to create and makes every eye colour sparkle; use my Bigger, Brighter Eyes Palette to create a shimmering eye look that makes your eyes look bigger and brighter, then use my Rock N Kohl eyeliner in Bedroom Black to line, define and smoke along your lash line to build drama and definition. Finally, apply lashings of Exagger-Eyes Volume Mascara for jet-black lashes that look bigger, thicker and longer! Exaggerate the look of your eyes, darlings, and you will mesmerise everyone you meet!

This is the lip combo of the year! Icon Baby is the perfect shade for beauty icons, everywhere! The warm, nudey-pink shade looks so soft on the lips, giving them a hint of irresistible rose that makes them appear lifted and full of life. Use Icon Baby Lip Cheat to define and lift the look of your lip shape, carving out a curvy party pout, then swipe on Icon Baby K.I.S.S.I.N.G Lipstick to give your lips an understated, satin finish with subtle glimmer. Finally, to plump up the look of your pout, top your Icon Baby lip combo with NEW! Strawberry Chocolate! This limited-edition shade of my Big Lip Plumpgasm lip gloss is a light, milky pink with diamond shimmer and a chocolate scent. It makes your lips look fuller and plumper with a lip lift effect and will shimmer and shine underneath the mistletoe!

My beauty wands are on every guestlist, darlings – they’re party makeup must-haves! Make your cheekbones glow under party lights with my legendary Beauty Light Wands and lift and sculpt the look of your face with my Hollywood Contour Wand for the easiest contour of your life! Spotlight will give the tops of your cheekbones a twinkling, rose-gold glow that looks as if you are bathing in beauty light! Pinkgasm is an iconic pop of pearly pink that makes your cheeks blush and glow! And Hollywood Contour Wands are available in 7 sculpting shades to create seamless-looking shadows that make you look instantly snatched! This trio will give you superstar cheekbones that glow forever, darling!
